A one year old baby may also experience constipation. Parents are even more anxious about constipation than babies. Because a one year old child is too young and cannot use medication to relieve constipation like adults, and it is not suitable for babies to drink honey water, parents will be very anxious. So what if a one year old baby does not defecate?
1. Constipation in a one year old baby is mostly related to diet, so when a baby has constipation, parents should start with diet to solve it. Observe whether the baby's diet has been eating more meat recently, because many children are picky eaters who like to eat meat and dislike vegetables. Therefore, when the diet is unbalanced, constipation is easy to occur. You can give the child more green leafy vegetables to eat, and also let the child drink more water. As long as you make adjustments in diet, the child's constipation will improve in a few days.
2. If a child has dry stools, some methods can also be used to assist in defecation. It is best not to use glycerin for one year old children, but some edible oil can be applied to the anus to stimulate and help the child defecate. In addition, soap can be used instead of edible oil.
3. Some children's constipation is related to their physical health. If a child experiences recurrent constipation, it is best to go to the hospital for examination because some children have congenital megacolon, which can lead to constipation.
